Download of Sophos Patch Agent failed from server (0000006b)

Hi,

whether triggering Sophos Endpoint Protection from local machine or automatically update from Enterprise Console is resulting in Error Message

"Download of Sophos Patch Agent failed from server" (0000006b) can be found at Computer Details from Enterprise Console.

When checking Update Protocol (Acl.log) at local client I am receiving the following Error Message

"Could not connect to the server. Check that this computer is connected to the network and that Sophos AutoUpdate is configured to update from the correct location with "

Affected machine is known as managed Computer.

I already check the following knowledge base articles and verified all provide resolutions with no lucks.

Every advice appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

Robert

  • Hello Robert,

    is this issue only on one endpoint or are there more? And is Patch the only product which can't be downloaded?

    Please see Useful tips for reading the ALUpdate.log ... (note this is the detailed log) and try to locate the error - if you're not sure post the relevant part (would look like this)
    TrySyncProduct<class AutoUpdate::CIDUpdateLocation>, Started:
    ...
    CIDUpdateLocation::SyncProduct - Updating Product: Sophos Patch Agent
    ...
    TrySyncProduct<class AutoUpdate::CIDUpdateLocation>, SyncProduct returned - 0
    or if necessary a complete cycle.

  • Hello Christian,

    first at all let me thank you for your reply.
    Following your advice I could narrow down this problem to these lines.

    As well I tried to delete Cache in case it were corrupted ... but not luck.

  • Hello Robert,

    dumb question first - the \spa64\ folder exists in the CID and its contents are accessible when you browse to the share with Explorer? Additionally - it's just Patch that fails and only on this endpoint? Or?

    Some 20 lines above there should be Logging on network access user followed by Attempting to make a connection to remote machine .... What's in the next line?

  • Hello Christian,

    when checking via explorer \spa64\ is not available.

    It is just Patch that fails and only on this endpoint, yes!

    This is what follows "Logging on network access user" [...]

    Trace(2016-Feb-25 17:22:10): TrySyncProduct, Calling BeginSync

  • Hello Soeren,

    quite strange - first of all, \spa64 is there, isn't it? What's more - error 86 is "invalid password", if the credentials are incorrect download of the other products should fail in a similar manner. BTW - is this su456492 the updating user from the policy?
